| KHAG L | No. 118 - APRIL 2019 | 03 SITARE: Advanced Workshop on Astrophysics The Discipline of Astronomy, Astrophysics and Space Engineering, IIT - Indore, organised a Workshop on Multi- Wavelength Sky Observations: AstroSat and Beyond, during February 3 - 7, 2019, in association with TIFR, Mumbai and AstroSat Science Support Cell at IUCAA. This event was one of the first scientific events conducted as a part of the 10-year anniversary celebrations of IIT - Indore. The programme of the workshop consisted of scientific sessions and hands-on data analysis sessions using data from LAXPC, SXT, CZTI and UVIT instruments on-board AstroSat. H. M. Antia (TIFR, Mumbai), Sudip Bhattacharyya (TIFR, Mumbai), C. S. Stalin Workshop on Multi-Wavelength Sky Observations: AstroSat and Beyond (IIA, Bengaluru), Jayashree Roy (IUCAA), Md. Shah Alam (IUCAA), Sunil Chandra (North-West University, South Africa), Abhirup Datta (IIT - Indore), Bhargav Vaidya (IIT - Indore), Nilima Kamble (TIFR, Mumbai), Kasturi Warang (TIFR, Mumbai), Prajwel Joseph (IIA, Bengaluru), and Ashish Devaraj (IIA, Bengaluru) were the speakers and tutors. There were 25 participants comprising of PhD students, postdocs, and university teachers from all over India. In the scientific sessions, a wide span of topics, including Neutron Stars, Black Holes, Galaxies and Galaxy Clusters, AGNs, Jet Simulations were discussed. A detailed introduction of the instruments and their working techniques was presented. During the hands-on sessions, the participants analyzed X-ray data from the black hole system Cygnus X-1 and the Crab pulsar, to study the spectral and timing properties of the sources. They extracted images from the globular cluster NGC 188 and carried out photometry of the stellar data. At the end of the workshop, a symposium was conducted, where the participants and a few experts presented their recent research on topics relevant to AstroSat science goals. Manoneeta Chakraborty (IIT - Indore), and Ranjeev Misra (IUCAA) were the coordinators of theworkshop.
